Wait and See! Full Moon in Gemini

Tonight, the evening before Thanksgiving, is a full moon in Gemini. And tomorrow, on Thanksgiving Day is a Saturn / Neptune square. Here's what it all means and why you might be 'feeling it.'

The full moon (which is in Gemini) opposes the Sun (which this time is in Sagittarius) putting the energies of both signs face to face. Gemini is the data seeker, fact finder, news and media buzz, and those 'oh so welcome' opinions from friends. Gemini tends to get high on information overload but can get bogged down in the anxiety of processing it all.

Sagittarius is a truth seeker. It seeks a meaning to things and clarity. The push / pull of Gemini and Sagittarius facing off will ask us to breath in and breath out the overload of information in your brain and seek patience to find the truth. Gemini likes to fill in the silence and space with one million theories of what may or may not happen next. Sagittarius waits for clarity. So where are you seeing some unclarity in your life? Where are you filling in the blanks when you don't REALLY know the truth? Are you spinning facts? Are you maybe projecting some of your own thoughts or what people have told you to think onto the situation.  Look at your new challenge with excitement and hope as opposed to nervousness and speculation. Wait. And. See.

In addition, I've read that tonight is considered a moon for clearing out the old to make room for the new. What outdated data to you have stored up in your brain or in your space that you can get rid of to make way for a clearer picture of your life?

Interestingly enough, Saturn / Neptune is a similar energy and face off ... not the SAME but similar. Neptune represents your dreams and wishes. It can also on the negative side, represent illusion. Illusion can mean you aren't seeing things so clearly and that you need to take off your rose colored glasses. Maybe the situation is way worse than your dreamy little mind made up. OR on the contrary,  maybe you are focusing on the negative and creating your own obstacles which are just made up in your head. Maybe life is way sweeter and easier than you anticipated. Saturn will challenge this energy by providing structures and tasks. So let's say you want to spend your life as an artist...what do you need to do to MAKE this happen. How much money does it take to pay the bills. Get two jobs, paint portraits on the side. Let's be realistic. You can have your dream. But a dream is best grown when rooted in reality.

This square will either have you fall back into your old patterns, or evolve into being able to see clearly that your dreams CAN happen, but you just have to put some realistic parameters around them. There is patience and discernment required to see this through. This isn't an action taking energy, but a wait, observe, and let things settle in your gut to see how to best handle aforementioned 'dream.'

These energies don't just apply to the next few days. It kicks off a bit of a cycle. So have patience, clear the clutter and see what unfolds!

Shedding some light.

November 11 is a New Moon falling in Scorpio...while the Sun is also in Scorpio. They have turned off the lights, double time. And it's time we shed some light.

To remind you, for those of you who haven't put your finger on what Scorpio energy is in your life.... it's dark, intense, probing, primal, emotional and truth seeking. Once you put two and two together. You won't ever forget what 'Scorpio' means. Yes you've encountered it. It's the energy that drives you to drink.... In fact, the negative side of Scorpio is addiction, but let's roll with the positive which is 'transformation.

The Sun entered Scorpio at the end of October as usual, with the dark feeling of the sign perfectly lining up with us welcoming Daylight savings and grumbling at it feeling like midnight at 5:30pm. Yes, grumble away, because this darkness forces us to seek light in other ways...especially within ourselves. While we welcome the first glimpse of hibernation and introspection that is to come with Winter, we start to explore our inner selves. Yeah, I know....UGH. But that looking within part IS the LIGHT.

The New Moon in Scorpio however, offers us a new fresh beginning after this introspection. It's the feeling of cleaning out the junk in your attic and beginning to welcome in a fresh / lighter energy. But to do this, we have to unearth some crap. Dark, primal - "I am standing naked in front of my classmates" - "I just pulled the nasty hair out of the drain," "Really? I don't wanna go there" fear based crap.

But do it. Get rid of it. Face the 3 foot hairball in your proverbial drain. Because, with this comes a reward. Once you own it, face it, stop fighting it, covering it up and just LET IT GO...your bathtub drains easier, you realize it was all a dream, and you can find the light and lightness of life again. It's realizing the monster under your bed was just a toy clown puppet with strings..haha Just kidding, bad metaphor...

How about the monster under your bed was actually the way the moonlight shined on the floor and goes away in daylight. See it gets light! Light solves it all and it gets brighter. I promise. Because Sagittarius is coming up. And that is the PARTY PARTY fiery time we like to call the Holidays.


Referring to the blog, http://www.leahwhitehorse.com/2015/11/09/new-moon-in-scorpio-november-2015-fate/ the writer gives a great metaphor about not being able to plant a seed unless you dig deep. This is that exact energy. You have to release the old, the outdated, the nasty weeds and old rotten plants and till that soil to make space for this new seed to grow. The above link is an awesome article that definitely resonated. I'd recommend a quick read.

One of the symbols of Scorpio is a snake....shedding its old skin, another a Phoenix, dying and being reborn. Check out this fella that greeted me on my doorstep yesterday to remind me....

There is newness always after the letting go. What new things are ahead??? Hopefully something REALLLLL GOOD....So, let that be your driver.

So brace for it and face it and we'll meet you on the other side in December for some fiery Sagittarius energy!
